Iglesias de León

Spanning from the pre-Romanesque period to contemporary architecture, *Iglesias de León* (Churches of León) explores twenty-eight religious sites, uncovering their history, art, symbols, and legends—from apparitions of the Virgin Mary amidst brambles to fantastical creatures, royal tombs, and miraculous stones. Behind every portal, stained-glass window, capital, or altarpiece lie artistic treasures and surprising tales. From the spirituality of the Romanesque style and the wondrous light of the *Pulchra Leonina* (León Cathedral) to the expressive power of contemporary religious buildings, this book traverses the parishes and churches of León, revealing their architecture, artworks, symbols, and the legends that surround them.
